Overview

Nokia 6 is both, novelty and nostalgia in a box. Nokia vanished from the phone market in an unexpected way a few years ago. In order to reclaim its position the Finnish company joined hands with HMD Global and made a comeback with an all new device that was introduced at the CES 2017. The phone is a player in the upper end of the mid-range and features a decent hardware setup that might fetch the company what they lost a few years ago.
